sons, who obtained the affidavits
submitted to the State department,
In which It was asserted the steam
ship Lusltanla carried four guns
when it left here on its last trip on
April 30. The inquiry may last for
several weeks. Roger Wood, the as

ney, who is. directing the inquiry,
said that the grand Jury would fol
low the evidence as far as it might

which to base a new note to Great

It is intended that the new representa

EI 0 BATTLE IS RAGING OK IS0NZ0
LONDON, June 11. British ob
servers of the war. forming their
opinions on the, latest dispatches
from Russia, believe that the Austro-
German forces threatening Lemberg
from the ' sonthesst have ' been
checked in their advance. Ru-eta,
they declare, has delivered a return '
blow, and a hard one. The ' great
masses of German and Austrian
troops which have forced a passage
cf the Dneister river near Zurawna,
acrordlng to the latest announce
ment f the Russian War office, have'
been flung back with heavy losses,,
In both men and material.
Leathers; Temporarily Safe.
Thus for the moment Lemberg Is
thought to he safe, for nowhere etas
along th Gallclan front have- the Ten-,,
tonlo allies been making progress re
cently, with the exception, of course,' of
their southern extension Into Bukowtna.
News was received yesterday that Rus
sian reinforcements were moving south -along
the Dniester river from Mlkolalow
to Rohatyn, but It was hardly expected
here that they would achlov such quick -
results. If this victory has been derisive.
It Is the first real check delivered by the
Rusalans since the start of the new
Austro-German rush through Oalksla.
Here it Is chsractartaed as giving re- -newed
faith to Great Britain and Pranc
to the recuperative powers of Russian
arms.
Nothing new has been heard In London '
concerning the fighting In the Baltla '
